Tigers Again in Finals After Wins Over Brantford Alerts Intermediate A‘s Win 7â€"2, 7â€"5, to Enter Group Finals.â€" Played Here Last PLAY IN PRESTON Waterloo Tigers were scheduled to play Preston Riversides at the local park last night in the first game of what will be a three out of ve games series for the championâ€" ship of the local Intermediate A group of the Ontario Baseball Asâ€" sociation. Tigers earned the right to advance into the group finals by their two game to one victory over Bnr':t.ford Alerts during the past week. Beat Alerts Here 7â€"2. Tigers started the fireworks in the second game of the series played at Waterloo last Wednesday when‘ KroYp, leading the batting order, singled slfel{, stole second on an error, made third on Lorentz‘s sacriâ€" fice hit, and came in for the first run of the game on McAvoy‘s hit to deep centre which went for two bases. The locals hammered out % hits for 5 runs in the opening frame, With Waterloo Tigers again on their way to an Intercounty group championship, fans might at least show that they have knowledge of a basebal team in their midst. Atâ€" tendance at games is woefully conâ€" spicuous by its absence, with some three hundred at last Wednesday‘s game here and not more than two hundred at the game in Preston on Saturday. True, most of Saturday‘s crowd was from Waterloo, but the total net gate was not over $50. With a few sports minded citizens having to contribute heavily to keep the club out of the red, support is merited especially in the final g:mes after the club has shown what it can do. The double play by Waterloo in the eighth on Saturday started from what appeared to be a safe hit. With Bygraves on first, Bailey hit a hard ball which bounced off Irvin Plomâ€" ski‘s leg and rolled towards third. Simon came in fast, scooping it up and throwing to first to get Bailey, and then got back on his bag to take the return throw from Zalewski in time to catch Bygraves <trying to make third. Although brilliantly executed at that it was a dumb move on the Brantford runner‘s part to try for the extra base, but only one of several dumb base runâ€" ning moves made by Brantford players. Had Brantford replaced Whais at catch earlier, several Watâ€" erloo runners stealing second would have been tagged, Whais‘ throws to the key sack being short. Irvin Plomski‘s feat of retiring the Alerts in the seventh with the bases loaded and one out was part of his fine display on the mound during the afternoon. McAvoy gained the first putâ€"out on a high foul back near the stands, and then Irvin whiffed the next two. Howâ€"‘ ever, his arm gave out in the ninth,l and after walking Sullivan, who | brought in a run, was replaced by Moyer. Johnny, entering the box with none out, pitched only 11 balls| to retire the side. The first man up didn‘t even swing at the first three which went for strikes. | One of the prettiest running catches of the season came in the third when Schmidt clouted the pill 400 feet almost to the race track, only to have Orcutt make a wide circle and take the ball at his shoeâ€" strings. The wrestling between world lightâ€"heavyweight champion _ Bill Weidener and challenger Frankie Hart at Kitchener last Thursday was a relief to many of the spectators from some of the rough shows held in the Queen Street rink. Cleanly fought throughout, Weidener and Hart put on one of the finest exhiâ€" bitions of wrestling ever seen in these parts. Weidener, who successâ€" fully defended his title, is slated to appear again tonight against chalâ€" lenger Bill Brooks. 5spMoRIEE Hit, Miss and Fumble EVOLUTION OF THE TYPIST and her machine, which has received perhaps its major impetus from the International Typewriting Contest during the past 30 years, is graphically illustrated here.

Two more runs were knocked in in the second on three hits, to end the Waterloo scoring. â€" Alerts collected a total of 8 hits of Johnny Moyer, Waterloo hurler, three in the first for one run, 3 in the third for 1 run, one in the fourth and one in the ninth. Simon led the Waterloo batters with three hits in four trips to the plate. 7â€"5 Win at Preston. Meeting Alerts in the third and deciding game at Preston park on Saturday, Waterloo blasted out one run in the first and three in the second innings to gain a lead which they held throughout, although threatened seriously in the seventh iwhen with the bases full, Plomski, twirling one of his best tflm“ of the season, sent the next ee men back from the plate without a hit. Tigers, outhit by their ogponenh, however capitalized on their scoring chances, and had one less error than Alerts‘ four.

However, the lads, in absorbâ€" ing a 16â€"3 drubbing, got some terrible ball out of their systems and should be all set to go in the return game here today. In annexing the Grafton Shield in addition to the Western Ontario Trophy, the Waterloo Cricket Club on Saturday lfnin proved themâ€" selves worthy of better reco(fnition in district sports. Supported by a small handfull of fans the local eleven have wound up a brilliant season, and their efforts should be recognized by civic officials. The Club has financed itself for many years through cricketâ€"minded folâ€" lowers, and the least the town can do is to publicly thank them for the publicity brought to Waterloo. With Ontario major football teams already hard at work for the opening of the rugby season in a few weeks, local gridiron prosi)ects are none too bright. There will not in any likelihood be a city rugby squad, leaving the only teams to the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo Collegiate. It is known that both the instituâ€" tion‘s teams were bsdl{ riddled in June by graduations, but coaches Rey Dickson and Hal Wallace of the senior squad and George Schmidt of the juniors can be counted on to field well trained aggregations shaped out of whatâ€" ever material may present itself when the call for practise is soundâ€" ed after Labor Day. Nothing is more pathetic than a horeefly on an auto radiator, SATURDAY‘S SUMMARY Local Eleven Waterloo Cricket Club Again Bring Coveted Trophy Waterloo Cricket Club added the Grafton Shield to their Western Ontario Lufue Trophy when they defeated Galt by four wickets here Saturday.

The water tank, conâ€" . taining over 8,000 gallons, was more than half emptied. Splendid Case of Combustion Officia‘s of the North Waterloo j Farmers‘ Mutual Fire Insurance Company were summoned to the , scene, arriving about noon Sunday. ; According to Mr. J. H. Woods, Manâ€", aging director, there was very little smoke in the barn which was flled , with a sickening sweet qdor of the . hot sap in the hay stems. "Aside trom the unusual fire, it was a spellâ€" binding sight to see that continuous chain of buckets handled by 75 men all day going from the tank, up the 40 foot ladder to the top of the barn . and then being poured on the top of , the fray." | Both Inspector Harding and Mr.l Woods were very pleased on Monday | with the results left by the fire, being | the most conclusive proof of what spontaneous â€" combustion â€" can â€" do.‘ ‘"Many people, even some of the most modern and best informed tarmers! of today, scoff at the idea of such | a thing as spontaneous combustion", Said Mr. Harding. "The pictures and ; the samples we have taken today make one of the best ‘finds‘ ever . taken by the Fire Marshall‘s departâ€" | ment. They will put an end to tho' scoffing which has been prevalent for many years. While other proâ€" vinces have very rare cases on reâ€" cord guch as this, this is the first taken by the Ontario department, and 1 believe, is much better than any yet on record anywhere in the world. Of course many fires are laid to the spontaneous combustion cause, ; hence it is often derided. If this fire had broken out an hour earlier, I would not have doubted for a moâ€" ment but that it had been caused by saturday night‘s severe electrical storm. If it had been discovered an hour later, the barn could never have been saved. As it was, the barn was not even threatened." Proves Use of Sait . "The first thing I said to the owner when I got fhere Sunday noon was, ‘did you use salt on the hay when it was put in tho mow?" J. H. Woods told the Chronicle reporter on Monday afternoon at the Jack farm. ‘Mr. Jack‘s answer of ‘no‘ was exâ€" 50 TONS HAY COMPETE WITH THE WORLD Olympic champions, of various nations in one of the n rmpic champions, athletes â€" various nations compete n one of the most comâ€" prehensive sport programs ever held in the Dominion. World championship power pected because our company has never yet had a spontaneous combusâ€" tion fire where salt was used." ) Son Gets Credit _ To Alex Jack, 28, son of the owner of the farm, goes the credit for avertâ€" ing a serious fire. On Friday mornâ€" ing he smelled a sweet odour and saw steam coming cut of a section of the mow, and looked for a fire. On ‘Salurday he put his hand down into the hay pulled up lukeâ€"warm stems. "He then threw some hay aside, but could find no sign of a fire. Going into the barn at 5.30 a.m. Sunday to begin the milking, he found the barn full of a sweet odour, and going up into the mow, found a hole six feet ‘deep by two feet acrose had fallen in the centre of the mow, from which ‘smoke was seeping. He called his father, who in turned summoned |‘ne1p, and it is estimated that within ‘an hour over 75 farmers were hard ‘at work in the barn. The water tank contained onlxetour feet of water so Iseveral men set to work on a hand ‘pump to replenish the supply until ‘an hour later when a stiff breeze ‘came up and the pump on the windâ€" ‘ mill relieved themh. The men worked _late in the afternoon before they had ;cnt out al the smouldering hay. One of them was overcome by the odour ‘and was taken to his home where he was feeling better on Monday. â€" 50 Tons Burned ‘OQut of 70 tons of hay stored in the barn, it is estimated that 50 tons were destroyed, with the damage not .exceeding $500. As the water was 'poured down, blocks of the black mass were cut out by a hay knife, and the farther down the cutters went, the more had to be cut out. By the time the burnt out hay was cleared, a whole had been cut in the bay in a cone shape 40 feet at the Lottom to 8 feet at the top, 18 feet wide and 28 feet in heighth. The reâ€" maining hay is only two feet wide on three sides of the mow and about 20 feet high,. Contrasting against the green stems is the blackened mass, some of it not so badly blackâ€" ened, and which was still in the mow on Monday. Tools Ruined x Evidence of the heat caused by the combustion was available in a conâ€" Phone KITCHENER crete form in a horseshoe which was found in the hay, and was too hot to be touched. Hay forks were ruined by the heat, and along with the knives lost their temper in the heat and could be bent at will.
